Anti-War Day 2024

Against forgetting: To mark Anti-War Day 2024, the international collective "Antiwarcoalition.art" is providing insights into life and survival in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv with two art projects at the SCHLOSSLICHTSPIELE. 

To mark Anti-War Day, the Antiwarcoalition.art collective is presenting a special 20-minute program entitled "Sense of Safety" at the SCHLOSSLICHTSPIELE Karlsruhe. In a second program, Aza Nizi Maza's studio in Kharkiv will provide insights into the reality of the north-eastern Ukrainian city with a selection of children's drawings. Despite the adversities of war, the studio offers children a space in which they can develop and express themselves artistically and encourages their ability to maintain hope, develop resilience and creativity. The second show can be seen daily from September 1 until the end of the SCHLOSSLICHTSPIELE.

Both screenings provide an insight into the situation in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv. They form a "bridge of solidarity" with the city and the communities that are under fire every day. They are part of the international exhibition project "Bridges of Solidarity" by Antiwarcoalition.art at the Yermilov Center in Kharkiv, excerpts of which will be on display at the ZKM from October 18 to November 24, 2024. The international exhibition project aims to draw attention to Kharkiv, which has been turned into a gray zone by constant bombardment. It reminds people of the ongoing wars, in which violence and destruction are part of everyday life, and shows the human cost. The projection mappings were realized by Siarhei Navitski.

Since 2022, the ZKM has been working with the international, artist-run platform Antiwarcoalition.art, which collects, shares and disseminates artistic statements against warlike aggression and political oppression both as an archive and as a forum for discussion.
